Ok so I have been slightly annoyed by the ways I have to create yeast starters. I started by aiming my innculated wort into the tiny hole of a 22oz bottle (annoying as hell). Then I purchased a growler from New Belgium (considerably easier), but still a consideralable amount of aiming was necessary (plus I can only do a 1-1.5 quart starter). But can anyone explain to me why we just don't throw 1-3 Liters of wort into a sanitized primary and innoculate? Does too much air cause a problem? Has anyone done an experiment? I've never heard anyone say this was a bad idea? Is it?

There are many ways to make a starter. The way you suggested will work just fine. I probably wouldn't pour all the wort from the starter carboy into the batch because it is likely to be oxidized. But, oxygen is good in a starter, it's what makes the yeast replicate quickly.
After the yeast start to replicate there is so much CO2 that the oxygen gets pushed out the top of the carboy.
What size of a starter should one start decanting the young beer off the yeast? Or is the effect on the taste minimal?
If the beer is a pale or an amber and you need the liquid just pitch yeast liquid and all. It is so small as compared to the brew that it is not noticable in taste. Decant the starter if you want no taste effect from the yeast starter liquid or are using yeast from a previous dark beer.

A wrongful death lawsuit filed by the parents of a western Kentucky high school football player is seeking more than 17 million dollars in damages.
The suit was filed in January by the family of Ryan Owens, a 16-year-old player at Henderson County High School. He collapsed and died at after football practice on July 19th, 2006.
New filings in the suit that revealed the damage requests were filed Friday in response to questions from the defense.
The documents filed Friday by Owens' family allege the school's athletic officials were slow in summoning medical.

GDC Properties Plans Townhouses for LIC Industrial Sites
Hawthorne, N.Y.-based GDC Properties is planning a townhouse development for its recent acquisition of two contiguous industrial sites at 11-24 45th Road and 45-35 11th Street in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens, Commercial Observer has learned.
"We're happy to have found a site in New York City where it is very competitive," William Ingraham, the company's president, said. "It is a unique site with long frontage on a renovated park." Read More

"I bought these for my daughter so that she can send notes after she receives gifts. They are adorable and perfect for her to "write" notes of thanks to her friends on. She loves them!"
"Perfect for baby boy's shower thank you cards - very please with the whole process. Very easy to customize and fast shipment!"
"This card is very nice quality and printed/shipped to me very quickly. The only thing that would have made this better would be if I were able to pick the hair and/or eye color of the girl so it can be a bit more customized. I understand that would add to the production time however."
"Such an adorable unique design! I have not used them yet but the quality is perfect for the promo price I paid. I love the touch of personalization of the baby's name. I do wish there were envelope lining options to go with it. My only concern is there may not be enough room to write a lot but I will just have to keep my thank you's short and sweet!"
"I am absolutely in love with these thank you cards. I was browsing the shower invitations while on the phone with my mom (she was ordering invitation) and I saw the one that matches these...it was my favorite. Well...I didn't need to order my own shower invitations but I followed the link to the matching thank you cards and found these. They are fabulous! The quality of the paper is excellent...nice and thick. The colors look exactly like the do online and all the printing came out wonderful. I LOVE the back of this card with the colored/patterned water drops...it's such a nice touch. I got the Kraft colored envelopes and they are a wonderful match...well worth the minor additional cost. I also ordered the matching address labels (which I love as well) and everything works together beautifully. I can't wait to order my birth announcements from this company...they truly have a wonderful product and I can't wait to start mailing out these thank you cards after my showers."

Posted 09 June 2003 - 06:46 PM
GTA VC has been running fine for a couple of weeks now suddenly there are no sound effects the radios are fine and police radio frequencies but everything else is dead does anybody have any pointers?
Thanks in advance
Posted 09 June 2003 - 11:57 PM
But as you say, it worked fine before..hmm..how frustrating..just do it by trial and error, man.. try things to make it work..and if not, a new sound card! Your sound card may not be upto Vice's Standard!

btw, resize your sig to 468x70
Posted 13 June 2003 - 06:21 AM
so who have the answer i dont think a new sound card would help. never had any problems with the onboard card
Posted 13 June 2003 - 05:08 PM
I ran Dxdiag's sound test with an interesting result. I could not hear the Mono 8 bit 22Khz Hardware buffer test! Thus the following error was reported by dxdiag:
DirectSound test results: Failure at step 20 (User verification of hardware): HRESULT = 0x00000000 (error code)
I have the latest version of Direct X 9.0a installed and the latest Creative drivers installed for my Creative Live! Value card. It appears to be a compatibility issue between DX9 and the latest Creative drivers.

imagine that.....
ok then maybe dx has the ability to test sound options but i still stick to my statement that direct x does more with video than audio, and that its not a primary driver source for audio while the main drivers for your sound card, or device, are.

have some suggestions for you to help get the GTA Vice City sounds up and running properly on your system.
First make sure that the software (or "drivers") for your computer´s sound device are Direct X 9 compatible. If you are unsure that your drivers are compatible, then contact the manufacturer of your sound device (for example, check their web page) for more information. If you are certain your sound drivers and sound device are Direct X 9.0 compatible, then try the suggestion below.
Motherboard based sound chips ("integrated sound chips"):
We have found certain motherboard based sound chipsets do not report having a hardware sound buffer, and crash with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. We found that running Microsoft´s "DXDIAG" and performing the sound tests, will present the user with an error message saying that a hardware buffer is not supported, and would you like to use a software buffer. Selecting a software buffer will allow this sound chipset to work with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Sound Provider:
The first time you launch Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, we auto-detect the best sound provider for your available Sound Card. You can also manually select alternatives. Providers which are not compatible with your Sound Card will not be selectable.
f this is the case, make sure you install GTA Vice City in the primary partition or hard disk (this is most likely labeled "C:").
--WINDOWS XP USERS: Try to play the game in "Windows Compatibility Mode." In order to do this, you need to have a shortcut to GTA Vice City. To make one, simply right-click on the GTA Vice City EXE icon in the directory where you installed the game, then select "Create Shortcut" from the menu that appears. After this shortcut is created, follow these steps:
· Right click on the shortcut link of the program that you want to fix.
· Click on Properties.
· Click on the Compatibility tab.
· Click on Run this program in compatibility mode and select one of these:
· Windows 95
· Windows 98
· Windows NT 4
· Windows 2000
· Under Display settings, check mark the mode that you think that is necessary for the program to work correctly:
· Run in 256 colors.
· Run in 640 X 480 screen resolution.
· Disable visual themes.
· Click on Apply.
· Click on Ok.
· Double click on the program.
- Be sure to change your in-game resolution to 1024 x 768 x 16-bit or lower.
Hope this helps!

We are making a cash offer on a short sale house.
The seller owes about 500K, 2 lenders. 1 loan 450K, the other 50K. Our offer: 400K cash, nonfinancing contingency hoping that it will expedite the process. The listing price is 480K now. We will buy and convert to 30 year mortgage. This will be a rental investment house, not a primary residence for us. The house has been on the market on and off for 3 years until the short sale listing. They have asked for too much money, above 500k. The house is probably worth about 425K to 450K. So not a huge discount but some... Anyone with short sale experience, advice? Does non-financing contingency expedite the process? We have the contract written so that we can pull out anytime if we find better/other house. |
Follow-Up Postings:
"Does non-financing contingency expedite the process? " Not enough to matter. The big delay will be getting the note holder to sign off. Banks and lenders do NOT like to lose money. |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (My Page) on Sun, Apr 24, 11 at 7:36
Make the offer and sit back and wait to hear from them. Cash will not speed up the process, but it is more appealing than an offer with financing contingencies. |
Best of luck - I think you are going to need it. The chances of getting a short sale through with 2 lenders is pretty small. Just by the numbers, if a house is worth $450k, why would the first mortgage holder take less than $450k? You might have a little wiggle room for the convenience of getting it off their books, but not much. Your $400k offer is going to net about $375k, so they will be losing $75k. That isn't even counting the second mortgage. Obviously, the second lender isn't going to approve unless they get something, so that loss to the first actually has to be larger. It is possible that they will accept your offer, but I don't think it is likely. The first lender is better off just foreclosing and trying to sell at market value. |
"1 loan 450K, the other 50K." The second mortgage holder is likely to foreclose since they will be wiped out if the first forecloses before they can. Unless they want to lose the entire second they may step up and take the house. If it is worth less than the first they may view the loss as better than taking on the first mortgage liability. This is why seconds get a higher rate than firsts. You are looking at a long path with two lenders, either of whom can kill the deal. |

for your Snow Removal |
Kruger landscaping owes us $5000 for "road topping" Can't even get the guy on the phone.
Paramount landscaping is the worst landscaping company I've ever worked with. They did a terrible job installing my garden beds, including the use of what looks to be used materials and there is weeds growing everywhere after I had been told that landscaping fabric had been used. It has only been about 4 weeks since the work was done and my house looks like a mess. They cheaper out in every way possible.
My sister and I are seniors and live in a house. We contracted Green Blade for snow removal services winter of 2013-2014. They insisted we pay in advance and then proceeded to mistreat us. They refused to come and fix the problems they created. They often refused to come at all. I sent email pictures of the damage they were causing to my back gate and steps. Their solution to the problem was to quit us and returned a small portion of our advance payment with no accounting of how they arrived at the figure. They ripped us they robbed us and they left us high and dry with no help at all. When word got out over social media, a very nice your gentleman was so appalled that he offered to do it for the rest of the winter. I paid him. He did a good job. Now I am waiting for the builder to come and give me an estimate on fixing the back gate.
- never comes to plow our snow when we need him to (i.e. it would snow for 12 hours+ and still no show)
- our family always ends up shoveling ourselves because we cannot get in or out of our driveway without doing so
- very frustrated because we paid over $300 without getting the service we need/expected
- recommended him to a couple of our neighbors hoping that would motivate him to do a better job, but obviously that did not happen
- conclusion: if you want a reliable snow removal company, this is NOT the one
Had our first major snow fall 17 Nov 2013 and Kodiak didn't get to our house until this afternoon. They don't have enough guys working and are too overloaded to provide good service. Watch out if you really need this type of service.
I have dealt with several snow removal and lawn cutting companies. None were as good as Ray. In three years I have not been disappointed with their service. No matter what the weather, my driveway is clear with no damage to my lawn or curbs. Their rates are also fabulous. Well worth every cent I've spent to have the worry of snow removal and grass cutting taken away. I definitely recommend this company.
I love Syljack snow removal service. Maybe not always on time but we do receive an excellent snow removal service. They also have a great customer service which is great to have when ever the city passes. Just give them a call and they will sent a tractor. Have been with them for years and will continue for many to come.
RESIDENTIAL also services North York where I live. A neighbour who has been serviced by RESIDENTIAL for five years highly recommended it to me. This is now my third year with RESIDENTIAL. I have to say they are very reliable, so far this season, they have been here three times to clear the snow. Job well done!
I do not recommend going in there and wasting your time! Very unprofessional with a bad attitude. I will gladly take my business elsewhere. Some people are so lazy the wont even look up a part number for you, even when you ask them nicely!
We asked Omniserv to bid on our snow remoal contract this past year and we wer very happy witht he service and the results. Always had it done before they promiosed, and did a good job. Once their invoice was late, but they sent it as soon as we mentioned it.
I would recommend these guys to take care of your disposal needs.. They disposed of my stuff professionally and efficiently. I would refer all ppl to use them!
Fast, responsive time. I wouldn't deal with anyone else.
excellent snow removal, good neighbors
Wonderful company to work with, very professional. Design Build Maintain Services.
Fast and good work. Impeccable customer service

Charbel says Sidon still on edge after Assir protest halted.
Summary: Interior Minister Marwan Charbel warned over the weekend that the situation in the southern coastal city of Sidon remained sensitive.SIDON, Lebanon: Interior Minister Marwan Charbel warned over the weekend that the situation in the southern coastal city of Sidon remained sensitive following the recent removal of a sit-in by controversial Sheikh sheikh
or shaykh
Among Arabic-speaking tribes, especially Bedouin, the male head of the family, as well as of each successively larger social unit making up the tribal structure. The sheikh is generally assisted by an informal tribal council of male elders. Ahmad Assir that raised political tensions in the city to a boiling point boiling point, temperature at which a substance changes its state from liquid to gas. A stricter definition of boiling point is the temperature at which the liquid and vapor (gas) phases of a substance can exist in equilibrium. .
"In all honesty the security situation in Sidon is very sensitive and we all have to acknowledge this and I remember and everyone remembers what happened in 1975," Charbel told reporters, referring to the year of the outbreak of Lebanon's 1975-90 Civil War.
"I don't want this situation to repeat itself in 2012 and none of Sidon's residents would like this recur," he added, after heading a provincial security meeting in the city.
Assir and his followers, who had closed Sidon's highway for over a month in protest against Hezbollah's arms, dismantled their sit-in Wednesday and traffic resumed along the city's main road.
The protest and sit-in considerably raised tensions in the city. Counter-protests were staged, scuffles between rival groups occurred and even a grenade grenade (grĭnād`), small bomb filled with explosives, gas, or chemicals and either thrown by hand or shot from a modified rifle or a grenade launcher.

He said one of the aims of his visit had been to reassure Assir.
"From a security point of view, it is our duty to protect persons because we are responsible for the security of all Lebanese," he said.
Charbel said wisdom and dialogue were essential to easing tensions.
"Dialogue alone is the guarantor to reducing tribal and sectarian tensions," the minister said.
He also vowed not to allow sit-ins and the blocking of roads in any part of the country, as occurred in Sidon, under the pretext of people's demands.
"The blocking of roads in Lebanon is a red line. Neither the government, nor the judiciary nor anyone else accept that the roads be blocked and that it appear we are living in a country that is uncivilized," he said.
Charbel acknowledged that political divisions in the country led to the blocking of roads.
He said it was essential that the security apparatuses be granted political cover to facilitate their work in apprehending law-breakers.
"If there isn't political cover, no one can do anything," he said.
The minister expressed hope that local security agencies would prevent a repeat of the sit-in in the southern coastal city.
"I hope the security apparatuses, particularly the head of the district, will deal with the security situation and I do not want a repeat of the Sheikh Ahmad Assir scenario because if it does, I do not know where things will lead," he said.

Hempstead said his legal action was born out of "frustration with what's happening within the newspaper industry." He said he wanted to make a point, especially since he still has friends employed by newspapers.
"Someone has to bring some common sense to the industry," said Hempstead, who added that he would drop the suit if The McClatchy Co. put him on its board of directors. "[Newspapers] have to start thinking they have to do more than cut jobs and the quality of the product."
The publisher of The News & Observer, Orage Quarles, dismissed the validity of the lawsuit.
"My response is pretty simple," Quarles said in an e-mail to ABC News. "We think it's a frivolous lawsuit and believe the judge will see it that way too."
Since Hempstead is not a litigation attorney, he is currently looking for legal representation to take his case forward. He said he welcomes other unhappy newspaper subscribers to join him in his fight.

Leila Takayama, Research Scientist of Human-Robot Interaction, showcases a new wave of interactive robots that mimic human behaviors while carrying out personal and professional tasks in her artificial intelligence keynote.
In an attempt to make robots more like humans, Leila Takayama, along with Willow Garage, a company that specializes in developing personal robots with a human touch, collaborated in the creation of Personal Robot 2. Regardless of whether it's a machine or a robot, many people are already using these devices to carry out daily tasks, but the question remains on how to make it more mobile and approachable. Inspired by the Mini Cooper's design, Takayama and her team modeled the cameras, or eyes, after the vehicle's headlights and effectively removed all the unnecessary bulkiness from the automaton. With the assistance of Pixar's Doug Dooley, who "breath[ed] life" into the robot, humanistic features were included such as gestures of forethought, pondering and disappointment were included to signify the cyborg's attempt at a task.
An abundance of robots is inevitable in the rapidly changing digital world. Takayama encourages programmers and designers to develop automatons and algorithms that can interact in human environments more effectively, allowing it to connect on a closer level with its users.

How Obama Administration-Controlled Media Is Used to Avoid Scrutiny From the Press |
By: Kevin Gosztola Thursday October 10, 2013 2:42 pm |
What makes the crackdown on leaks, increased denials of Freedom of Information Act requests and surveillance of journalists even more pernicious is how this conduct by President Barack Obama's administration has taken place as the administration simultaneously uses its own media to pump out its own message.
Equifax Cited for Facilitating Fraud Deals |
By: David Dayen Thursday October 11, 2012 8:39 am |
The Federal Trade Commission caught Equifax, one of the three major credit reporting companies, selling their lists of homeowners who made late mortgage payments to a third-party direct marketing specialist. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and is also about the sleaziest thing you can do – profiting off the financial difficulties of others.
FDL Book Salon Welcomes Tracie McMillan, The American Way of Eating: Undercover at Walmart, Applebee's, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table |
By: TBogg Sunday May 6, 2012 1:59 pm |
In her landmark book Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America published in 2001, journalist Barbara Ehrenreich went undercover working in a series of minimum wage jobs (waitress, nursing-home aide, maid, etc.) to learn what life is like for the "working poor" in America. For most of those thrown off the welfare rolls, women in particular, these were the jobs that were available to teach the former welfare recipients the "dignity" of work. What Ehrenreich found was demanding and exhausting work paying sub-poverty wages so low that workers could scarcely afford to feed and shelter themselves, no job security, no benefits, and no future.
Eleven years later in The American Way Of Eating Tracie McMillan has traced a similar path, only this time exploring the economic and societal implications of how we grow our food, harvest it, ship it, and market it in America. Why do Americans make so many bad food choices? Why do we eat so poorly? What is a "food desert" and why do we have them? The answers reside in the ever more powerful supermarkets with their massive infrastructure and distribution systems which have displaced the local grocers, and with the cookie cutter restaurant chains where the food is not so much cooked as it is assembled from pre-packaged portions which are microwaved and served to a clientele who want a night away from their own kitchens where they, most likely, would have been emptying a salad bag into a bowl while a frozen packaged entree slowly spins in the microwave. Combine that with a populace who increasingly know less about the food they eat and seemingly spend more time watching cooking shows on TV and cooking less because they "don't have enough time" and we have serious food issues in America.
Herman Cain Knows Marketing |
By: Jon Walker Wednesday October 19, 2011 2:15 pm |
Herman Cain may have very limited political experience and lack policy depth, but so far, he's proven to be a master at branding himself. When asked to use one word to describe the candidate, voters' top answer for Herman Cain is 9-9-9. This is an impressive messaging accomplishment.
Biden Scolds Dem Voters for Enthusiasm Gap; Tells Progressives to "Get in Gear" |
By: Gregg Levine Thursday September 16, 2010 7:00 am |
Joe Biden is your cable provider screaming that they are better than the phone company, and you know they are better than the phone company, and if you don't know that, no matter what your experience, then it is your problem, you fucking idiot.
FDL Book Salon Welcomes Catherine Lutz and Anne Lutz Fernandez, Carjacked: The Culture of the Automobile and Its Effect on Our Lives |
By: Katie Alvord Saturday March 20, 2010 2:00 pm |
Carjacked joins a hefty body of literature critiquing our automotive transportation system, including my own work Divorce Your Car! Ending the Love Affair with the Automobile, released in 2000. Do we need another critique of car culture? My answer is a resounding yes. While such books all tell us about the problems cars cause and about better, greener, more economical and socially just approaches to transportation, what they say gets swamped by the ongoing tsunami of marketing messages that coax us to embrace automobiles. As the authors of Carjacked write, this relentless marketing leads us to "take the car for granted as a social good, which renders it nearly invisible as the source of a range of problems."

We drove over to Leon's house today to pick up a tank for to transport the sap collected for cooking and he was quite excited about a contraption he made. The contraption was a narrow box with many holes drilled though the top and a vacuum connected to the side to provide suction for holding the seeds in place. When the box is turned up side down over the plug tray the vacuum is turned off and the seeds fall into place on the tray. He was excited about it, but we had to tease him for a while before telling him it was a good idea.
Maple sap has a higher sugar count this year, which means less cooking (boiling off excess water). But, brix change all the time according to the weather.
We are still taking CSA applications but time is running out, so if you may be interested please contact us. We are not planning on taking CSA applications at the markets this year--only excepting them before hand.

Nice story from Pleasanton CA that reports on "booklegging."
It's the library outreach program that sends volunteers into classrooms to introduce kids to the wonder of books. Children have their interest piqued by hearing only a portion of a story...and have to get to the library to find out "what happens next."

Experiences with going End of Sept-early Oct?
So we're scrapping the June trip for better weather and less crowds :-) I've been getting quotes and researching the heck out of when to go! It looks like the best deals are during the value season which ends the first week of Oct. So we're looking at Sept 29-Oct 7. Anyone been during this time frame?
I'm interested in hearing these answers as well...we will be there for the last half of September. I keep hearing stories of the heat/humidity/rain and I'm ready to hear that it's going to be fine!
We went the last week in September about 3 years ago. The weather was good - still hot and you get a daily rain shower, however the crowd levels were down. The love bugs are out and are annoying, but other than that we had a great time.
The last time we went was the first week in September - still hot and crowd levels were even less. And no love bugs....:cool1: |
We've gone in Oct many times.
This past Oct is was super hot and humid. Then years ago it was record breaking lows. It was so cold we had to go shopping for clothes. For the most part we love to go that time of year. The love bugs are usually gone by then. If you go end of Sept, they may still be around. |
We went last year during the second week of September and this year we are going during the third week.
Yes it is hot. It is not as hot as June/July/August bit still mid 80's to 90. And its humid but reasonable. It rained almost every afternoon but 10 minutes after everything was dry and fine. We didn't have umbrellas or ponchos as it took less than 10 mins to dry. That's a good gauge of humidity is how long it takes you to dry. Stacy |
We went during that time frame a couple of years ago. The crowds were great! We loved that part but it SO hot and humid!! It was miserable a couple of days.
We went the last week of september and will be going again next september. We had a great time. We spent the mornings in the park with our 2.5 year old, then when it started to get really hot we just went back to the pool and then napped. The hottest part of the day my guy spent napping, so the heat wasn't a factor for us. We loved the lower crowds and never waited more than five minutes for anything. The crowds are so low that almost every time we would get a fast pass in the magic kingdom, a surprise fast pass for dumbo was spit out too. My little guy was in heaven.
The weather can still be hot and humid, but most likely not as hot as June. Crowds are definitely lower and should make it easier to get what you want to do completed. We love that time of year. Some mention the love bugs, but honestly they are not as bad as some post. We have been in the fall 6 times and see a few here and there, but never what we have seen posted. Is it possible to see a swarm of them, yes, but we have never seen them in large numbers.
Low crowds and nice weather sounds good anytime you are in Disney. If you get a few REALLY hot days, hit the water parks. Adding the option to your tickets is pretty inexpensive. Have a good trip! |
We went at the end of Sept. in 2011. As for the weather, it was very HOT and very HUMID. I cannot imagine what July and August feel like. It only rained on us one day, so that was a plus.
As far as crowds go, it was busy. We were able to accomplish what we wanted to, but it took some planning. |
We were there a couple years of go at the end of September and we loved it. It is hot but nothing like the summer. We are from Georgia so I know "hot." The summer is the most miserable experience ever! However, we did not mind it. We had a great time and the crowds are very low at that time.
We are going to go again this September at the same time! |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 09:45 PM. |

Until fairly recently, 10% tolerance resistors were the norm, but today, 5% (E24) resistors seem to be the most commonly used. They still can be found in vintage radios, old amplifiers, etc., but the price of a 5% resistor is low enough to be the standard component in all of today's electronic circuits. In precision applications, special, more expensive low-tolerance resistors are used with tolerance ratings of 2%, 1% or less.

I am using windows 8.1 HP and Printer is HP. I want to scan pictures and crop them and be able to put them on FB. What program would be the best for windows 8.1? Never done this on 8.1 but have done this for many years on other windows computers. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You want the BEST? REALLY??? That would probably be Adobe Photoshop and depending on how much "best" is acceptable to you will set you back as little as $80 or as much as $500 and maybe more since I hear they are moving to a monthly cloud-based subscription service. On the other hand, if you can settle for something free which is not the "best", Irfanview is pretty good at cropping and resizing images. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Irfanview
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 5:33
"scan pictures and crop them and put them on FB" So simple operation, for low-resolution output? Basic editing, such as lightening, contrast, color-correcting? Irfanview will work just fine, and it's free. If you want to get into pixel-by-pixel fancy stuff, The GIMP (www.gimp.org) does some amazing stuff, and it's also free. I've done side-by-side editing comparisons between The GIMP and Photoshop, making complex clean-up and fancy effects and the judges couldn't tell which software was used ... their budget could tell. |
And if you decide on the excellent Irfanview be sure to also get the plugins |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 6:11
OWBIST .... My, they have been BUSY making plugins since I last downloaded it. This one sounds great! |
No need to pay for any simply download "Photoscape" it's free and awesome! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Photoscape
Another vote for Irfanview here. You don't have to scan them....simply edit your photos in Irfanview and save them with the changes. On FB, choose "upload photo" when you're ready to add one to our page. |
gloriam, what program have you used in the past? Is there a reason to not continue using it? evenshade, physical copies of photos (something you can hold in your hand) get "scanned" to put them into digital (computer) file format. |
I took ES's reference to be working directly from a storage card. DA |
Snidely, perhaps that's the case and if so, I was assuming too much. I thought she was starting with digital and just wanted to edit and save them. Maybe the OP will post a follow up post. For gloriam, Here's a link for top scanner reviews and one on scanning with Win 9 HP software. Hope this helps. |
Here is a link that might be useful: How to Scan: Windows 8
Could be. Gloria used the word "scan", perhaps not knowing its meaning in this context. FYI, the URL you've cited is a sham/phony page. It's really an advertisement, intentionally misleading as to its true nature, with a link to ONE product. It's not a review site at all. Also, since XP and perhaps before, Windows has native software to do scans. It's not necessary to use anything else, although there are most certainly programs available that will operate a scanner in the same way as Windows + the device's software does. |
That's odd, it takes me to HP's consumer support page with links to warranty info, repairs, support forums and their presence on FB, Twitter, etc. I chose it because the OP mentioned he/she has an HP printer and possibly an HP computer. It may be a moot point, though, since I don't see any followup posts by the OP. :) |
The link also takes me to the HP support page. |

Daedelus has always been a champion of pushing unique live presentations, and his Magical Properties tours are a wonderful platform with which to showcase both his amazing live show and the wonderful talent he chooses to bring on board. This time he's joined by the likes of "the remix Ryan Gosling" Ryan Hemsworth and Body High boss Samo Sound Boy for a 6 week tour, with pop-up support from Salva, Shlohmo, and Two Fresh.
I spoke with Samo Sound Boy just as the weekend was approaching about the tour and what's up in his world and the Body High world. Samo's a really great dude who I'm super pleased to see hopping on the Magical Properties tour. Go peep our conversation after the jump, where we talk about California weather, how to party in Miami, studio essentials, and more:
While Miami is most notorious for the madness that occurs every March for WMC and Ultra Music Festival, thousands of art and music lovers from across the world converge in the beginning of December for Art Basel. We kicked things off in style last night at our weekly Slap & Tickle party at the beloved Electric Pickle with LA's Rick Rude, and are gearing up for a massive evening tomorrow night at one of Miami's newest venues, The Garage. The rising UK duo Bondax will be preforming an exclusive Art Basel set alongside Body High label boss Samo Sound Boy. The best part about this event is that its FREE, as long as you head over to the Slap & Tickle page and send us your names before 6pm tomorrow. To get you in the mood, check out the latest Slap & Tickle promo mix.
YEEEW! Dirt time & all I gotta say is I am very DTF with all of the songs so generously being put into the mix this week. Very much a theme again here, slowed UK vibes and really strongly percussion-based tracks in my picks, and a bit of everything from Jonah; ubiquitously groovy of course. Tons of free jams for everyone to enjoy, and we're really stoked on all of the producers below & highly recommend checking more of their stuff out! Download all 11 tracks after the jump… Continue Reading
Mystery producer…little is known…blah blah blah. Here's what you need to know: DJ FUNERAL is on deck for his sophomore EP on Sam + Jerome's LA-based imprint, BODY HIGH, coming out November 13th. The release has 4 originals, and they are all fire. Once again, the newly founded label really stands apart from its peers, providing a truly unique sound that irradiates the eclecticism and skilled A&R of its founders. Preview the EP below. √+
I've been waiting a long time for this. With my heart reasonably tied to the sounds of the UK, part of me squeals with joy when I see one of the young artists pushing the new era of garage come to the states. It means something real; that the music that the UK has been an advocate of for ages now has finally touched down in the US, that the was once behind-the-curve American market for dance music may slowly be catching up. Disclosure, consisting of Howard and Guy, two very young brothers (18 & 21) have quickly risen to the forefront of this kind of sound, and lucky for LA, they headlined an amazing live show at the El Rey to a sold out crowd of costumed enthusiasts on Halloween.
I'm pretty sure something has to be said that every single song they've made has been released, and on top of that, they're all hits. These kids quite literally hopped on to making garage style music after falling in love with Burial's Untrue two years ago, and ever since then it's been a whirl of success, with a free EP garnering them masses of downloads & "What's In Your Head" in every single DJ rotation, radio show, and mixtape this summer.
As everyone was doing some last minute costume prepping before heading to the El Rey that night, I jetted over to the historic venue to have a chat with the boys before the show. Their young faces & Howard's aside that he misses England were perhaps the only things indicating their age; the boys otherwise spoke and performed as though they were much older. Great guys, pleasant interview, a real treat. Later, after I arrived to the always great Samo Sound Boy's set, there was a pleasantness in the air unlike other shows; a kind of unspoken knowledge of the oxytocin-laced, subtle booty-shake set that Disclosure was about to provide. And that's exactly what it was. After opening with "Control", the boys worked rather seamlessly together in their live show, leaving perhaps the entire audience with a smile on their face the entire time. Whatever it is they are doing, they are doing it right. I'm very much looking forward to the boundless future of Disclosure, and happily await their return.
Until then, get your digs with the interview, and their very awesome mix for The Fader below.

a fourth grade science test from a private school a South Carolina .. the kid got an A+ .. what would be your reaction if that was your kid??
I predict that child does not have a promising career as a scientist..
I think the teacher needs to go back to school and get his/her head out of his/her butt.
i cry on the inside that there is another child that will most likely grow up and live their life in such a high degree of ignorance of the world in which they live
Is this real? It looks like a joke.
The most offensive part is that it's true or false on such an obvious question. True or false questions are only useful on a complicated question -- "When you mix hydrogen with bigscientificnamium gas, fluoride is one of the by-products. True or false?" To ask a child, "True or false, is the earth millions of years old?" isn't testing, it's forcing them to sign a loyalty pledge. A statement of belief.
Can you imagine what an atheist quiz like this would look like?
True or false: Adam and Eve never existed.
True or false: People evolved from simpler forms of life.
True or false: Bible stories are myths incompatible with modern science.
There is no such thing as creationist science.
But there is plenty of creationist nonsense.
I would have failed the test. :)
LOL me too, I have would failed it too

Fiber maybe? You would have the same physical eyesore problem, but the EM radiation would be non-existent. Is that even a real issue though? This would be cool for small scale applications though, or very large things like beaming power from a solar collector in a Lagrange point to the moon.

Most people forget the three laws are always presented as flawed. Something always happens and runs amok. The three laws are a great starting point, but they are incomplete.

I was close, I read it as "Attacked For Evil Penguins." I thought maybe they were going after Linux and the community retaliated for painting the penguin in a bad light!

Here's what man should not be able to do: Man should not be able to wake up at 10:30am, drag his E-Systems, 1.73GHz, 1024MB RAM laptop onto his chest and play Batman: Arkham Asylum within five minutes of booting up - without owning the disc - while he slowly starts to feel ill with laziness.
But guess what I did on Saturday morning?
I, probably much like the rest of you, had always dismissed OnLive in the past. "It'll never work," I thought, "Streaming down the internet? Pah! I'll give them something to stream down the internet..."
It just seemed like a pipe-dream, an experiment: Triple A games zipping down the phone-line to be played in real-time on something as piddly as a netbook or the living room TV. It didn't add up.
Besides, what's wrong with what we've got now? Our PlayStation 3s and our Xbox 360s - Sony and Microsoft have been keeping their consoles in line with the times for long enough, there's balance, order, the excitement of the cycles, and it works.
Except it doesn't work. Not like it could. That's what I realised on Saturday morning.
At around 10:30 I logged onto the OnLive website, filled in a short registration form, downloaded a free, 800kb client in seconds and started to browse the catalogue of games.
By about 10:40 I was playing the first 30 minutes of Batman: Arkham Asylum for free on a laptop that's only just qualified to play a 3D match in Football Manager.
This wasn't some stuttering, spluttering attempt at Arkham Asylum either, it was the Rocksteady masterpiece as it had been on my PS3 months before.
The opening cut-scene faded onto my 15.4 inch laptop screen, the rain falling on Gotham illuminated intermittently by lightning. The Batmobile dashing down the concrete, kicking up leaves as it gets closer to the mad house.
It was an odd feeling, seeing this deeply atmospheric, excessively detailed and beautifully eerie scene falling out of my little laptop. I'm on the end of a fairly good internet package, my last speed check had me downloading at 7.6Mbps (a little over the national average of around 6Mbps) but, like I said, the set-up as a whole isn't exactly what you'd call a gaming rig.
I was soon locked behind Arkham's walls punching face-painted psychopaths around the head and body. No console, no disc, no more than what I usually deemed a word-processing/net-surfing device. I'd like to think of myself as the every man when it comes to basic day-to-day computing and OnLive had me more than a little bit impressed.
My laptop lacks the luxury of an HD screen so Arkham Asylum wasn't at its crispest but, for what started as a mid-morning passing curiosity, it was one of the prettier things I'd seen in dirty standard definition and, if I could have been bothered to lift a leg, I was only a cable away from an HD transformation.
Of course, the smoke and mirrors of the whole operation come in the form of much more powerful computers floating on the OnLive cloud. My measly little laptop wasn't actually doing any of the work at all, the game was simply being pumped to screen via that tiny client as my directions and actions were fed back to base in real-time.
This is where what was always going to be the biggest stumbling block of cloud gaming comes in. Yes, that's right, OnLive is a victim of the gamer's most powerful and irritating enemy - lag.
I'd say it's about half a second delay between button press and on-screen arm break. It doesn't matter all that much when it comes to The Dark Knight, as long as you keep your rhythm he'll spring from one goon to the next no problem. Try to take on some precision driving or a twitch based multiplayer with OnLive though and you'll feel that half-second like a (virtual) bullet through the head.
